Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Before one can rightfully use Hawaii as part of a pun, they must first be able to correctly pronounce the name of their state fish, the Humuhumunukunukuapua`a[^].

"Gerald"
The one I met was called Gerald. I can pronounce that!

Gerald, you say. I think that I met his cousin Hank while snorkeling in Hanauma Bay[^].
As far as the pronunciation, it's not that bad.
Hu mu hu mu nu ku nu ku a pu a a
who moo who moo new coo new coo ah poo ah ah With the Hawaiian, you pronounce all the vowels. They have a highway named Likelike and it sounds like leaky-leaky, not like-like.

Are both images made by the Hubble telescope ?
If so, It is impressive the level of improvements they made to the image capture algos.

Why were US losses so much higher?
|
|
|
|
|
Because we stuck our noses in there.
|
|
|
|
|
Because their makeshift amphibious tanks[^] became submarines and the soldiers had only little support.

True, but the sum of those factors is: The infantrymen were exposed to machinegun fire without much cover or enough support and needed more time to get through the defenses and obstacles.

This is a good entry that explains a bit of it quite well:
Normandy landings - Wikipedia[^]
Omaha beach was probably a big part of the US losses.
Omaha Beach Omaha, the most heavily defended beach, was assigned to the 1st Infantry Division and 29th Infantry Division.[149] They faced the 352nd Infantry Division rather than the expected single regiment.[150] Strong currents forced many landing craft east of their intended position or caused them to be delayed.[151] For fear of hitting the landing craft, American bombers delayed releasing their loads and, as a result, most of the beach obstacles at Omaha remained undamaged when the men came ashore.[152] Many of the landing craft ran aground on sandbars and the men had to wade 50-100m in water up to their necks while under fire to get to the beach.[100] In spite of the rough seas, DD tanks of two companies of the 741st Tank Battalion were dropped 5,000 yards (4,600 m) from shore, and 27 of the 32 flooded and sank, with the loss of 33 crew.[153] Some tanks, disabled on the beach, continued to provide covering fire until their ammunition ran out or they were swamped by the rising tide.[154]
Casualties were around 2,000, as the men were subjected to fire from the cliffs above.

Hey, but we freed Europe from German domination..

Where would Europe be today without German domination [of the EU] notwithstanding their deep pockets?
(Yeah there's the frogs too but they would sooner sit on their hands than help their neighbours.)

Well, there's no but needed in reply to my post.
My post was just the details of what happened and why so many US losses.
Those men who sacrificed their lives are heroes who gave everything for our freedom.
